Seahawks Roster Cuts Behind the Scenes: Hard Knocks Finale

The final episode of Hard Knocks helped to close out the preseason just one week ahead of kickoff, and we're breaking down everything from the lead up to roster cuts and the emotional moments of making the roster. Montorie Foster's call to his parents after making the team is the heart of the episode, alongside Uso Seumalo's relief at sticking on the ready squad. We get a look behind the scenes at Nick Emmanwori's uncertain recovery timeline, and discuss the new short-shorts rivalry. Plus, our favorite moments (and critiques) from the season of Hard Knocks — the soundtrack, the cinematography, and why Coach Mike's leadership style has been the real star of the show.

The Seattle Seahawks' initial 53-man roster is set, and we went live to talk about the biggest surprises and areas where there is still some concern going into the season. The Seahawks kept a surprising number of offensive linemen. But in the past when we had a surprising lack of depth at guard, we are now to the point where guys seemingly beat the odds to make the team. The running back room may be a concern until Zach Charbonnet gets back, but that's mainly because we haven't seen much from the guys throughout the preseason (by design). A fan favorite from Hard Knocks made the initial 53, and John Schneider made a trade to help with cornerback depth. Other big news in the NFL today was the signing of Aaron Donald. But did anyone expect that he'd command $20 million? We compare the situation to the last time the Seahawks signed a future Hall of Famer who was seemingly content to stay retired. Plus a ton of great questions straight from the flock as we look ahead to a tailgate and the regular season opener against the Patriots.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

The Seattle Seahawks are technically undefeated under transferring to new ownership this week. Seattle tied the Kansas City Chiefs 9-9 in the preseason finale, and concerns are running high that we may be on the verge of a special teams crisis. We get into another Jason Myers shaky preseason outing and how it stacks up against some real cautionary tales at the position, plus Michael Dickson's continued excellence at punter. Jalen Milroe's strong performance gave him something to build off of for the future. We work through roster bubble battles at cornerback, wide receiver, backup guard, and running back. Plus a bunch of great questions straight from the flock as we look ahead to the regular season opener against the Patriots.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

We dig into the film with Derek Coleman, a.k.a. Coach DC, of All 22 Films to figure out who new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is showing us so far as a play caller. We break down what's carrying over from Klint Kubiak's system and what's genuinely new, from pre-snap running back motion to the 12-personnel "Ace" formation to the shotgun run game. We get into how losing Jake Bobo and Robbie Ouzts reshapes the run game and tight end room, why Drew Lock is the trusted QB2, and a coach's-eye replay of both of Milroe's preseason interceptions.

Following Hard Knocks Episode 4, we react to Bud Clark's broken ankle and the warrior mentality he showed, Julian Love's case as the team's emotional anchor, and the rookie talent show where the winner was Derick Hall? We get into the roster bubble battles, Leonard Williams' leadership, and whether the Hard Knocks glow-up would figure into the consideration to cut a player. Will the Tory Horton injury factor into how many roster spots the Seahawks carry at wide receiver into the season? Plus, some great questions straight from the flock, including how we all became Seahawks fans.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

Our Seattle Seahawks fell 19-16 to the Tennessee Titans in their second preseason game (and first one on the road), but the final score barely tells the story. We break down a first half where Seattle's second team outplayed the Titans first team, a strong showing up front on defense, and a receiver room who doesn't seem to have anyone stepping up to fill the void left by Jake Bobo's injury. We get into Jalen Milroe's rough second half and the two interceptions that came with it, questions surrounding the running back room in spite of the big run by Jacardia Wright, and a scary run of injuries.

What has Jalen Milroe learned after one season in the NFL? We went snap by snap through his preseason tape to find out. We break down his footwork and dropback mechanics, how he reads a Shanahan-style progression offense, and why the flashes of "Ferrari" playmaking ability keep showing up alongside real technique concerns. We get into Mookie Alexander's take on his development after his post-game appearance on the show this week, walk through the two-minute drill that turned into one of his best sequences of the tape, and close out with a full tally of the good, the bad, and everything in between. If you've heard the "is he cooked" conversation and want an actual answer instead of a hot take - this is the breakdown for you.

Hard Knocks episode three just dropped and we're live with our reaction. Join us as we break down JSN's route-tree and the episode's cinematic camera work, the underdogs still fighting for a roster spot, and what the "let it rip" mentality says about Jalen Milroe's development. We get into Devon Witherspoon's contract payday and how it paid off the storyline from the first episode. Plus, we got to see what that extension says about the front office's culture and about low-ego stars and quiet leadership in the locker room. The Terrion Arnold saga continues and we got to see the beginnings of what his path to the roster could look like.

We're live right after our Seahawks' preseason opener against the Cowboys, breaking down who stood out and who didn't. Field Gulls managing editor Mookie Alexander joins us to help sort through a penalty-filled night, Drew Lock's outing, and what Jalen Milroe's sophomore debut looked like. We dig into the running back and offensive line battles, a defense that had some bright spots and some real depth concerns, and the buzz around Devon Witherspoon's new contract. Plus a rundown of special teams, the receiver room, and a bunch of great questions straight from the flock in our live chat.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

Our Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks kick-off the pre-season this Saturday vs. the Dallas Cowboys and there are a LOT of major story lines we are focused on. The Terrion Arnold signing at the start of the show has us weighing the on-field talent against the off-field questions, Jadarian Price's availability is up in the air, and there are position battles to keep an eye on. We break down what to expect from Jalen Milroe as he competes for the QB2 job, dig into the offensive line battle at right guard, and who should we be cheering on in the fullback competition. Plus, we're forced to look at what Dallas brings to the table, including Caleb Downs and Sam Howell, and a rundown of our personal preseason "crushes" to watch for across the roster.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.
